Ceramiche Caesar: range and EPD coverage snapshot
Ceramiche Caesar builds its brand on porcelain stoneware for floors, walls, and outdoor landscapes. Buyers see a deep catalog and polished design story. Specifiers want proof it clears sustainability bars. Here’s a quick read on what they sell, where their Environmental Product Declarations stand today, and how that positions them in competitive bids that prefer or require product‑specific EPDs.
Who Ceramiche Caesar is and what they sell
Ceramiche Caesar is an Italian porcelain stoneware specialist with global distribution. The portfolio spans interior floor and wall tile, large‑format slabs, and outdoor pavers that target office, hospitality, residential, and civic work. Their technical platform extends into systems such as raised floors, ventilated façades, pool details, and tactile paving.

How broad is the range
Caesar’s catalog covers several product families within porcelain stoneware: standard‑thickness tiles for interiors, oversized slabs for continuous surfaces, and 20–30 mm pavers for outdoor use. Across colors, sizes, and finishes, the active SKU count sits in the hundreds globally, likely stretching into the low thousands. Their own declaration references “more than 2,000 articles,” which supports that order of magnitude (EPD Hub, 2024) (EPD Hub, 2024).
EPD coverage today
Caesar has current, third‑party verified product EPDs for two core thickness bands in porcelain stoneware under EN 15804+A2 and ISO 21930.
- Caesar Porcelain Stoneware 9 mm, published March 1, 2024, valid to March 1, 2029 (EPD Hub, 2024) (EPD Hub, 2024).
- Caesar Porcelain Stoneware 20 mm, same publication and validity dates (EPD Hub, 2024) (EPD Hub, 2024).
These cover the bulk of everyday tile and outdoor paver specs. For many projects, that’s enough to avoid the penalty of generic dataset assumptions in carbon accounting and to satisfy LEED v5‑aligned owner requirements for product‑specific, third‑party verified EPDs.
Likely gaps to watch
We couldn’t locate a dedicated, public EPD specifically labeled for 30 mm outdoor pavers or for gauged porcelain panels used as ultra‑large wall and worktop surfaces on Caesar’s site. The two live declarations appear scoped to 9 mm and 20 mm thicknesses. If those variants are major revenue drivers, a missing EPD can quietly sideline them on jobs that mandate product‑specific declarations, pushing specifiers toward alternatives that are easier to document. If we missed a filing, publishing it prominently would be an easy win.
Competitive set on projects
On North American and international specs, Caesar commonly meets Crossville, Marazzi, Atlas Concorde, Florim, Keope, and Porcelanosa in tile packages. Competitors have visible EPD coverage, for example Crossville’s porcelain tile EPD registered in the International EPD System on February 27, 2025 and valid to 2030 (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025). Industry‑wide options also exist, such as the Italian Ceramic Tiles sectoral EPD that was updated June 2024 and runs to January 2028, often used for baselining in early design (EPD Italy, 2024).
Where Caesar is strong
- Core interior tiles and 20 mm pavers have fresh EPDs that align to EN 15804+A2, which most public and private frameworks expect.
- The breadth of looks and sizes means designers rarely have to compromise on aesthetics to stay within an EPD‑covered option.
Where they can level up fast
- Publish a clearly labeled EPD for 30 mm pavers if they are a growth category in hardscape. Many campuses, healthcare entries, and transit adjacencies prefer that thickness.
- Add a gauged‑panel EPD for oversized wall and worktop applications so millwork and façade packages don’t filter them out at shortlist. Even a prospective declaration that is updated after the first full production year can keep key lines in play.
- Make the document path unmistakable on product pages. One extra click is one click too many when teams are rushing submittals.
Quick moves that win specs
- Map revenue to thicknesses and formats, then stage EPDs accordingly so best sellers are covered first.
- Align PCR choice with what competitors use in your target markets to remove comparability friction during reviews.
- Build a clean, single folder for sales with PDFs named by format and validity date. It sounds small, but it’s a real speed boost for bid teams and GCs.
Why this matters commercially
On projects tracking embodied carbon, a product without a product‑specific EPD often carries a conservative assumption in the model. That tends to nudge selection toward comparable products that are documented, which means the price conversation starts uphill. An EPD for each high‑volume format is a straightforward way to be confidently spec’d in healthcare, higher‑ed, workplace, and public work. The effort is definately worth it.
The bottom line
Caesar is a porcelain specialist with two current product EPDs that cover standard tiles and 20 mm pavers, giving strong footing for day‑to‑day specs. Closing the loop on 30 mm and gauged panels would eliminate lingering reasons to swap in a competitor at the last minute. If speed and completeness matter, establish a tight data‑collection cadence and keep validity dates visible so the right EPD is always at hand.
